I believe no stations have ever closed on the North Warwickshire Line from Birmingham Snow Hill - Stratford-Upon-Avon?

Although Henley-In-Arden Terminus has closed but wasn't technically part of what is now the North Warwickshire Line
When the line continued on to Cheltenham was it still the North Warwickshire Line or is this a name thats only been used since it terminated at Stratford?

How about the Leamington-Stratford Line?

Didn’t Eglinton Street have platforms on the GB&K lines?

Yes it did, three in fact. Indeed there is not a route out of Glasgow that meets this critieria due tot he cull of inner City stations, Eglinton Street had platforms on all routes, Shields Road and Ibrox closed on the Ayrshire/Renfrewshire Routes, (you could also legitimately count Bridge Street) Cowlairs out of Queen Street and on the low level routes, Parkhead and Finnieston on the Queen Street Low Level and Glasgow Cross and Glasgow Green on the Central Low Level

Have any stations on the Conwy Valley between Llandudno Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog closed? I only ask as some lightly used stations are still open such as Dolgarrog and Roman Bridge.
Many closed briefly (some for a matter of months) in the 60s, and there's also Blaenau Ffestiniog North which closed when the cross-town line to Central and the Trawsfynydd line was completed.

From everything I could find out online the line was always referred to as the North Warwickshire Line, and south of Stratford-Upon-Avon all the way to Long Marston.

I guess it depends on if you count Henley-In-Arden Terminus as part of the line or not.

Helsby to Hooton? The line celebrated its 150th anniversary a few years ago.
